St. Paphnutius; Sts. Macedonius and Theodulus; St. Amatus; St. Cornelias is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This set of four small prints shows religious scenes in oval frames. Each picture has a saint with a simple background—one kneels by a bed, another stands near a sheep pen, one leans on a staff, and the last holds a cross while another figure looks up. The lines are sharp and busy, with lots of shading to show folds in clothes and shadows. The prints look like they were made quickly, with rough edges and quick sketches. The names at the top of each frame are in Latin, and the word "Israel ex." appears in each corner, which might hint at the artist’s style or workshop. If you like these, check out the technique: etching.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
